7d ago54:30

54:30

A system that grows stronger from chaos? That’s not science fiction. It’s nature’s original design. Nassim Taleb's Antifragile isn't just a book.

Overthinking: The psychology of catastrophizing and how to stop assuming the worst 38:51

21d ago38:51

38:51

We don’t see the future. We predict it — and sometimes we predict disaster before it’s even possible. Catastrophizing is a mental reflex. It’s your mind, desperate for control, drawing monsters where none exist yet. In this episode, we explore the quiet space between stimulus and story — the moment you could choose curiosity over certainty. Relatio…

We explore why people-p…

The Science Behind Changing Your Mind (and how to build better taste) 31:56

1M ago31:56

31:56

The problem with being human is that we believe our version of truth is the truth. Not because we’re bad—but because we’re wired that way. This episode is a story of blindness. Not the kind you see—but the kind you don’t even know you have. You’re not as open-minded as you think. That’s not an insult—it’s just how the brain works. We shortcut. We j…
